How to get in touch with our team
We help people to develop their confidence, increase their skills and to undertake learning or complete accredited training courses that enhance their prospects.
We offer a range of training opportunities linked to environmental conservation work, horticulture and engaging with the environment.
For businesses and professionals we offer accredited courses in Environmental Management Systems and Health & Safety. We can even develop training courses and packages to meet your own needs – just ask us for further details.
We also provide easy to access courses to improve English, Maths and Computer Skills. Many of our training services are delivered through out-reach centres in local communities, making them more accessible to users. And training with Groundwork does not always mean spending time in a classroom.
Our support means that whether you are someone who has struggled with education in the past, or is nervous of new technology, we will help you to enjoy the process of learning and experience of achieving a qualification you can be proud of.
